is it just me or did you play this hand bad? why not reraise on the flop?

[lehighguy]

The converter doesn't seem to work for tournaments, its wierd.

I've seen even crazier [censored] at the 50s. Once there were 4 people left at lvl 2, and I was ITM by lvl 4.

[lehighguy]

Because he would fold if I did. By calling and checking I give the impression his pair is good. When he bets on the turn and I raise he is already pot committed (or at least he thinks so).

[Bluff Daddy]

so what if the turn is the 10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif then how would you play it? seeing what he had you made the perfect play but I just think its too easy for him to be semibluffing with a q and a flush draw or even a straight draw.

He played it perfectly. He's not getting away from QJ so he played it to get the max from KQ or some garbage.

NH.

[lehighguy]

If turn is 10h hand is a bit trickier, but the vast majority of cards that can come are benign. I put the profit potential of getting his whole stack when he's way behind over pushing someone with a flush draw all in on the flop. Besides, I didn't put him on a flush draw. People don't bet into flush when you've already made it clear your strong.
